March 24, 2009: The Day in 100 Seconds

[overastastoria]

Geithner has one thing on his mind. He will have all power. "Give me control of the money and I care not who makes the law."

[thecanadianvandal]

that was awkward, yes it was, hahahahahhhaha my stomach

[dejahthoris]

that's what my mom tells me

[dejahthoris]

someone needs to switch to decaf

[Ender1zero1]

Geithner is getting the hang of being on T.V. happy to see it

[digamejh]

The Congress members are acting like children.

[dejahthoris]

Why don't you two apply for jobs at the Treasury Dept since you are so smart. I am so sure you could run rings around Geithner and Bernanke with your high levels of intellect. The naysayers never want to be part of the solution. It is very easy to criticize, even an idiot can do it.

[gsuitter]

We would never be considered for the treasury department. You have to be a Keynesian banker or a lobbyist to qualify for a position in Obama's administration..

[DeliverUsLord]

vote out every last one of these spineless scumbag "legislators"; just kick them out plain and simple. time for a tea party

[digiring]

Keep you tea bag fantasies to yourself please

[smcmillan88]

poor timmy... he really just doesn't seem like the right person for the job

[sachaput]

All these politicians are pretty brave now. Didn't see any of them asking quesitons the last previous eight years when we were getting into this!

Screw all of them!

[TedinLasVegas]

Same concept, bigger problem. We've been 30 to 40 years in making this problem.

I believe your right, but the problem is bigger than you allude.

[honestlycorrect]

Michelle,

What page and line in the constitution authorizes you to be so irrelevantly annoying?!!!,

[stengevarsel]

A fairly good way of keeping track of what Obama's campaign said they would or would not do, is to check out Politifacts "Obameter", where every recorded promise made is listed and updated in real time. Google it. It's very useful.

[eurohim]

It seems like they're just throwing money at the super rich and hoping it works. I thought the Obama admin was against trickle down economics. They've done the opposite of much of what they said they'd do, so should I be surprised?

[eyesonly654]

Obama's just another politician. Anyone hoping that one person running for office would keep their promises is nothing more than a wishful thinker.

[broncofan966]

wow tough day at the office for tim

[3star2nr]

poor timmy

[gdwag01]

When did Stephen Lynch become a congressman?lol. This deal with the Government trying to take over the financial end of America is scary. It is just the beginning of Fed takeover of all aspects of American life. What's going to happen in the next crisis? I don't trust anyone in DC.

[MooseOfReason]

"That's just a face that says 'confidence' right there."

Perfect.

[valgehiir]

to this 'yes' and 'no' guy geitner should have sayd 'could you repeat the question'

[valgehiir]

just give him the fucking chart!

[SquallCloud]

All the smug assholes who we know for a fact champion the interest of big business are busting their collective nuts over Geitner's plan so I'm automatically skeptical. What happened to the anti-trust/ anti-monopoly laws? Why can't they bust up some of these companies and make them smaller.

[valgehiir]

sassygirl345, it is called Glenn Beck Syndrome. Does it hurt?

[imanerd36]

How did they skip the code pink thing?!?!

[TheWayISeeIt1982]

GIVE US THE CHART!!!

[MooseOfReason]

"I won't hide the ball!"

[CaramelAnt]

The Obama Deception was the most hilarious movie I'd seen in months even before I realized that it wasn't a joke.

[djancak]

hilarious in what way?

[robinvan1983]

'cause it is al based on paranoid conspiracy thoughts glued together making it look like a traffic accident that you just can't stop watching

[dejahthoris]

Not to mention this conspiracy has been bandied about since the first decade of the 1900's and still nothing has happened

[boots920]

You guys trust "Timmy" with your futures. I can see it if you're drinking all the time and never sober up.

The fckers are following the same patter as Vietnam.

False flag, Endless war , fck the sheople. Who owns the FED

That's a secret, WTF up patriots.

[xlioilx]

if McCain was in there he would still be denying that there was a crisis

[PersonalJesus348]

geithner geithner...

[CliveSinclairZX]

This is.... AMAZING.

[yanikv]

We are so very fucked

[boots920]

Not if you good people phone your representative, do an audit on the FED and put who's ever fkin with the good people of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

The EAGLE NEVER GIVES IN...Stand up for what's right for fcks sake.

[WKaliberr]

Światła miasta

[fishhead06]

The trouble with Congress is that they're elected every two years. Everything is grandstanding.

[TheLateAndrewRyan]

I've lost nearly all faith in both the democratic and republican parties. We need change away from both, AKA a new party.

I'm now voting liberitarian.

[haole80]

god lifes good

[dgleason2]

"its not about ability..."  what an idiot...ty Mr Obama

[volumedealer1]

GIVE GEITNER MORE POWER!?

HELLLLLL NO! THIS MACHINE IS ALREADY A MONSTER! THEY NEED LESS CONTROL!

It's like giving Papetine more power when you know full well he's a Sith lord

[Richardgwm]

Best Treasury Secretary EVER.

[CherryIce1114]

He's cute too

[CarryANation]

Timothy Geithner is being very successful at enriching his banster cronies by forcing the taxpayers to buy all their "toxic assets" at inflated prices.

Aren't you glad to be paying more in taxes and inflation so JP Morgan, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and a bunch of Private Hedge Firms don't go bankrupt from their bad investments?

[WhyNotTruth]

Yeah, but they say that now these companies are tied in with the overall economic health of the country. We're not supposed to ask how that happened...

[darkally]

Geithner is going to have all gray hair in about 6 months

[voyeurdug]

Have you stopped beating your spouse; yes or no?!?!

Bullfeathers.

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

Geithner exudes sleaze.

[monalisasmiles4you]

EXCELLENT editing!!!

[PharaohNineD]

And Joe Scarborough has a face that says, hey Jughead where's Archie.

[MooseOfReason]

PharaohNineD, I tried to thumb you up, but it said:

"Please wait a few minutes to vote again."

[k166a]

What a circus that leads us...

[seanmcbay]

Geithner looks like an elf.

[moregravyplease]

Elves are sexy. Geitner is alright.

[ebleyes]

they lost that loving feeling....

[ver506]

I feel for Geithner..PHEW!!!!!!!

[dogstar7]

Money talks

B&%$hit walks

[Tuthill99]

the federal reserve is the source of all this!

[tickhound]

yep... "It's the Fed, stupid"

[marniespeaks]

Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009

HR 1207

call congress now!

[matman125]

This was pretty damn funny!

[VeracityMedia]

Pitchforks and torches... thats the next plan.

[gsuitter]

LOL Geithner, "it just requires will, it's not about ability".
